Police working on 1984 SF boy's disappearance

San Francisco police are asking for the public's help in the decades-old disappearance of a 10-year-old boy that garnered national attention at the time.

Police Chief Greg Suhr on Wednesday said investigators are seeking more information on a man they believe may have abducted Kevin Collins from a bus stop in 1984.

The person, Dan Therrien, is described as a "person of interest" who died in 2008.

He was questioned in the days after Kevin was reported missing. Investigators discovered recently that Thierrien had a criminal history, but that history was originally overlooked because he used several aliases.

Police last week dug up the backyard and garage of the home where Therrien used to live, which is blocks from the bus stop. Only dog bones were recovered.
